Corner from Pienaar is headed clear by Evans - Neville turns the ball back into the box but Given comes out to gather the cross.

Seven minutes of injury time to come in a second half riddled with injuries.

City lead another break away headed by Ireland and Robinho and the Irishman tried to lift the ball over the onrushing Tim Howard but got too much on it and sent it over the bar.

Stephen Ireland makes a surging run towards the heart of the Everton defence before sliding the ball to Robinho who fires a shot at goal but it just shaves the post with Howard beaten.

The free-kick comes in from Pienaar and the Dunne rises to head clear but directs it towards his own goal and is relieved to see it fly just wide of the upright. Nearly an own goal from the former Everton man.

City win the ball in the middle of the park and Caceido finds Ireland who then turns the ball into the path of Elano. The Brazilian shoots from a tight angle but can only flash it across the goal.

Pienaar plays Baines in behind the City back four and as the full back comes onto the pass he goes down and Everton appeal for a penalty but Alan Wiley was unmoved.

Robinho breaks from deep and surges at the Everton defence ghosting past Neville and Osman before striking at goal but Howard saved well.

A contested drop ball sees Cahill take man and ball on Robinho and the ball breaks for Pienaar and Elano seeks retribution for the drop ball and flies through the back of Pienaar in a disgusting challenge.

Vincent Kompany and Tim Cahill come face to face after a seemingly innocuous incident in the penalty area. Another off the ball incident and a petty argument between two players. Alan Wiley only gives the players a talking to.

Gosling gives the ball away to Caceido who breaks through with Robinho and Elano in support. Caceido decides to take the shot on but Howard saves and Robinho isn't happy with his team-mate, he felt Caceido should have passed.

Phil Neville brings down Elano on the wing and Nedum Onouha reacts to the challenge rather unnecissarily. A bit of handbags from the two defenders there.

David Moyes may be regretting the decision to make three changes and Everton will play with ten men for the rest of the game.

Phil Jagielka has gone down and appears to be in a lot of pain after twisting his knee. He has been stretchered off and Everton will be down to ten men now.

Jagielka starts an Everton move that ends with Hibbert crossing from the right hand side to find Jagielka who had continued his run into the box but the defender heads the ball over from close range. A chance to get back into the game goes begging.

Micah Richards appears to have hurt himself in making the clearance that set that counter-attack on its way. He has hobbled off and there will be a change to come.

A very positive start to the second period from Everton as they control possession and the tempo of the game. Hibbert crosses towards the back post for Baines but he miscues the volley.

Good build up down the right hand side from Everton ends with Pienaar rolling the ball into Fellaini on the six yard box who shoots on the turn. The ball looks destined for the top corner but Given makes an outstanding save!

Pienaar forces a corner for Everton - Can they get themselves back on terms from the set piece? The delivery flashes across the front of the goal and it somehow beats the post after a feint touch from the head of Castillo. So close to an equaliser.

Phil Neville works a clever overlap with Hibbert who fires in a cross to the front-post but Saha couldn't find the target with his header from in-front of the near post.

The tempo of the game has slowed after the goal. The visitor's will hope to keep their concentration at the back to see their lead through to half-time.

Man City have dominated the game and they finally lead. Everton haven't looked good in possession but they now need to respond positively to the disappointment of going behind.

Robinho looks a threat everytome he gets the ball at the moment. Hibbert looks uncomfortable defending against the record signing. A City corner ends in a bit of a scramble and De Jong shoots as it falls for him but his long rage strike goes wide.

The Everton midfield has looked a little disjointed in possession so far today. Perhaps the Toffees are missing their midfield duo of Arteta and Cahill but City are yet to punish any of the mistakes so far.

Pienarr finds space outside the visitor's box and the winger turns the ball onto his right-foot and tries his luck but fires well wide. Worth an effort from there!

Caceido brings the ball down from a long clearance and he turns the ball into Robinho and the winger plays an excellent ball into the run of Ireland but just as he looks to strike Baines comes back with a perfectly timed challenge.

City craft their first chance as Bridge gets to the byline and the ball fells for Elano. The first strike is blocked by Yobo but it comes back for the Brazilian who looks to find the corner but Howard makes a superb save to deny the opening goal.

A dangerous position for Everton from a set-piece that Baines will deliver but he does so badly and Ireland clears at the front post.

Again the Everton full-backs getting forward, this time its Hibbert overlapping down the right chipping the ball towards the back post for Fellaini but Richards leaps to flick the ball away from the tall striker. Good defending.

Elano drives the ball into Robinho on the left hand side and the winger cuts inside but his shot is comfortable for Howard. A good run from Baines on ends in a low cross that needs a crucial interception from Onouha to clear the danger.

Positive build up play from Everton as Saha runs into the channel behind Richards after a pass from Fellaini. The ex-United man tries a cross with his right foot but can only drive the ball into the hands of Shay Given.

Robinho finds space on takes on Hibbert but then squares to find De Jong on the edge of the box and the Dutchman tries the shot but gets it all wrong and sends it horribly wide.

Fellaini and Osman link up on the right hand side and Osman tries to thread the ball with the outside of his foot into the channel for Saha but its too firm and runs for a goal-kick.

Robinho gets the ball in a forward position and showed great skill to beat Hibbert but went down under the challenge. Alan Wiley saw no infringement and Everton are able to clear.

The ball is worked wide on the overlap into the path of Leighton Baines forward from left back. The delivery is good from Baines but Given did well to quickly come off his line and gather.

Everton have won an early corner after a long-ball towards Fellaini forces a mistake from Onouha - Pienarr delivers - The ball comes into the back post but Richards rises well to head clear.
